Beyblade: Final Battle

Please R+R.

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade.

Author's Note: Sorry I have taken a long break from updating. I've done a lot of Christmas celebration, and I've also become too addicted to reading One Piece Manga :) . Sorry, once again...I hope this chapter is okay. This fic will soon end, but there will be a sequel very shortly after, concerning the adventures of Tyson's new team, and what happens at the World Tourney. It will be called Beyblade: Infinite Quantum (err... I'm not quite sure if that makes sense, but it sounded okay to me).

Episode Nineteen: The Final Decision....

"Ha ha, this was easier than I thought," Terrence quipped. "Soon, your Driger blade will fall victim to our attacks!"

"Not if you can't get me first," Ray said. "Driger, split the ice apart!" The beyblade jumped into the air, and smashed onto the dish with tremendous force. The end result caused the ice to split into dozens of tiny glaciers.

Nathan was stunned. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked.

The audience looked equally surprised. "Wow... Ray might have a trick or two up his sleeve, but what could it be?" Zody asked, in bewilderment.

Ray chuckled silently to himself. "A good beyblader must learn to adapt to changes," he stated. "As long as I have Driger by my side, nothing will stop me from defeating both of you at once."

"Even when your partner was defeated in the first few seconds of the battle?" Terrence asked, pointing to the helpless Tyson.

"Ha, you won't defeat Ray. You haven't even figured out his strategy yet, and I can already tell," Tyson claimed.

"Your bluffing, aren't you?" Terrence asked.

"That's enough talk, you two," Ray interrupted. "This isn't a battle of words, it's a battle of blades."

Both Terrence and Nathan snapped back into reality, as they heard these words. "Crud... they're taking advantage of our bickering," Nathan realized. "But they haven't even hit us yet. What are they playing at?"

"Just shut up and we can defeat Driger easily," Terrence snapped. His blue beyblade went jumping right from platform to platform, as it finally reached Driger. The blade attacked with surprising force, pushing Driger back. "Well, aren't you going to help me?"

Nathan glared at him. "I still think they are setting a trap for us." Terrence just shrugged, and continued chipping away on Ray's blade. It was almost as if Ray wasn't even trying. He even had a big grin on his face, despite being on the losing side.

Driger was beginning to lose momentum, and was starting to tip off balance. "Well, I guess this is it," Ray declared. "Go ahead and finish me off. "

Even Nathan looked surprised. "Hmm... I suppose I could attack now." He figured that Nathan was right for once; they seemed to have given up already. The two blades started to chip away on either side of Driger, as it continued to take the massive beating. "Why don't you just call back your blade, so it isn't destroyed?"

"I told you. As long as I have my bit beast by my side, I will defeat you both. Now Driger, show yourself!" The white tiger emerged from it's blade, ready to serve his master.

Terrence looked bored. "We have two bit beasts. You have one. End of story." He turned to face Nathan, who was already one step ahead of him. Both bladers released their bit beasts, and grappled with the tiger.

"Damn... I underestimated both of you," Ray said, in a mock-concerned voice. "Looks like I'll be defeated soon." He glanced at Tyson, who seemed to know what was going on.

"Now Dragoon, come out!" Tyson yelled. The white beyblade came zooming out from behind a glacier, sending a direct hit to both opposing blades.

Everyone was shocked. "Whoa, it seems that Tyson's blade didn't sink after all," Zody announced. "But how can this be?"

"Ha ha ha.... while you guys were bickering, you didn't even notice that Tyson was able to control his blade, and eventually get it out of the water. So I took this opportunity to create a distraction by cracking the ice, so that you wouldn't suspect a sneak attack from Dragoon," Ray explained.

"Bah... good strategy, but not good enough," said Nathan, actually looking angry. "Dreadathus, destroy them both!" However, before he could speak another word, his beyblade was knocked out of the stadium, along with Terrence's blade.

Tyson grinned. "Ha, that's the true power of teamwork," he said.

"Annndd we have the winning pair! Tyson and Ray!" shouted Zody. The crowd screamed with applause, excited by the intense match.

Tyson smirked. Even though they had won, he could see quite a bit of potential in his opponents; especially Nathan. "Good match, you guys," Tyson said, shaking their hands.

"Wwee're back after a five minute break. The finalist match will be: Tyson and Ray VS. Victor and Carlos!!! We've seen some real battling skill from Tyson and Ray, but at the same time Victor and Carlos seem almost unbeatable, with their advanced strategic tactics. Who will win this exciting match? There is only one way to find out: keep on watching!"

To Be Continued.....

Author's Note: I am aware that I cut the length in half, but it's hard to squeeze in the remainder, since the next story will be the conclusion of Beyblade: Final Battle. Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the second story ark.
